To prevent damage to power plant equipment through dust or other contaminations in the air, air filter is used. The aim is to absorb maximum contamination from the air.
Nano fibers with less thickness and more specific surface than conventional fibers have lots of application in filtration and electrospinning is the most efficient way for production of continuous fibers from synthetic or natural polymers.
Electrospinning is used for more functionality and efficiency of fibers. This technology not only results in more efficient absorption of dust but also doesn’t cause so much pressure loss. Fibers produced by electrospinning have a thickness of less than 100 nm and cover the filter paper surface uniformly. This kind of fibers are mostly made of polyamide.
